I kept the prompt words this week of “stars and fate.” Instead, I concentrated on showing instead of telling by choosing my words carefully.

Twinkling stars above –

murmuring fairy secrets,

the chasm of my fate.

Patois cloaked with dark meaning

empathic words of feeling.

    1. Awww, thanks. It took awhile to write. I had to use the thesaurus to find words with right amount of syllables. ❤

    1. Thank you so much. The Tanka is totally about the events in my novel. ‘Patois,’ in this case, refers to ancient languages. I could not believe how these words came together. I know my fairy nymphs are guiding me. ❤
